Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a massive, vibrant green cabbage leaf resting in dark volcanic ash. Soft, diffused morning light illuminates the fine grey dust coating the plant. The mood is tender and reverent. Elara kneels close, her hand gently brushing the ash away with immense care, her expression focused and gentle. Deep greens and charcoal greys dominate.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elara: A young girl around 10 years old with expressive, large hazel eyes and messy, chin-length dark brown hair tied with a faded red ribbon. She wears a soot-stained, oversized linen tunic, thick leather gloves, and sturdy boots. Her face has smudges of ash and a warm, sun-kissed complexion. She radiates a quiet, gentle resilience and deep curiosity. The background features lush, oversized prehistoric ferns and glowing amber volcanic rocks. Studio Ghibli anime style, hand-drawn traditional animation aesthetic, soft cinematic lighting, vibrant earthy color palette, magical and nostalgic atmosphere.
